Sick in some far meadow, perhaps, sick of making milk for men. "That's a veal calf," Beth said. The note in her voice called his eyes. Something which the sight suggested was hateful to her. Bedient dismounted and led his chestnut mare up to the little thing, which stared, tranced in hope and fear. The mare dropped her muzzle benignantly. She understood and became self-conscious and uncomfortable.
This was the second reason why he had looked forward so eagerly to the sea-picnic. The day arrived, and it was marvellously fine one of those days in August when heat possesses the world and holds it tranced and still, but has in the very strength of its possession some scent of the decay and chill of autumn that is to follow so close upon its heels.
She did not think that he had yet said it to himself; but she feared that he was hovering on the verge of self-recognition. His very guilelessness in the realm of the emotions exposed him to her, and with her perplexity went a yearning of pity as she witnessed the soft, the hesitant, the delicate unfolding. For more had come than the tranced gaze.
The darkest hour fell hour of silence, solitude, and melancholy, when the desert lay tranced, cold, waiting, mournful without light of moon or stars or sun.

When the sun sunk down the one intruder from other realms and persistent in suggestions of them it was tranced luxury to sit in the perfumed air and forget that there was any world but these enchanted islands. It was such ecstacy to dream, and dream till you got a bite. A scorpion bite.
Big-voiced lassies made their banjos bang, Tranced, fanatical they shrieked and sang.... Bull-necked convicts with that land make free... The lame were straightened, withered limbs uncurled And blind eyes opened on a new, sweet world.... Gone was the weasel-head, the snout, the jowl! Sages and sibyls now, and athletes clean, Rulers of empires, and of forests green!
